Washington, April 18. Plana for President Hardings western trip this summer have developed to a point where a detailed Itinerary is under consideration. Thug far a dozen cities in the central and western states have been given more or less definite positions on the I st of places where nportant addnsses are to be delivered. They are: St. IxHils, Kansas C.ty, Denver, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, S.

at tie, Portland, Helena, Minneapolis, Chicago and Detroit. Others may he added. Originally Mr. Harding had planned to deliver in the neighborhood of twenty speeches, and he still believes he could carry out that program a ithout over-tax ng his physical strength. Some of his advisers have urged that hs confine himself to tbe lesser number, however, particularly 1 view of the fact that ha expects "to extend the trip to Alaska for an iaspection'-of the' de-f aUod of administration there.

No Polities. The sea trjP to the northern territory wilt te made, under the present between the presidents visit to Seattle and that to Portland. Just how longrit will take still is a question. The presidents friends, however, say ho will take great care to avo'd turning his trip into a political swing round the circuit. He has let it be known he disapproves of the present wide discussion of his candidacy for re-election, and would prefer that for the period of his tour the questions he touched on be regarded as non-partisan.

Regarding himself as acountable to the nation as a hole, it Is said, he will endeavor to explain as fully as possible the things he has done as president and to seek from the whole people advice and guidance for the future. To Avoid Impromptus Ai attempt will be made in view of the length of the trip, to avo.d impromptu speeches. The prospect that some rear platform speeches will have to be made is one of the arguments used by those who are urging that no additions be made to the present list of twelve formal addresses. The itinerary for tlie trip, and the subjects lo be scuss-d, recently been considered at a number of white house conferences at which members of the cabinet. Chairman Adams of the republican national committee, and others have been present.

Thn president also has asked for advice regarding a number of invitatons to speak during April and May in the eastern section of the country- but it still is problematical how many of them will decide to accept.
